It all looks well until it passed the Lilo stage then the screen goes blank.
The memory I am using is pc3200 (512) and the board is compatible with the os. The specification of the board allows for up to 3 gig of memory.
I installed suse 9.0 and it ran fine on the same setup, I even installed winxp and again it was fine. It only has problems with suse 8.0?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mack.

Could it be the memory it's self? perhaps upgrading to branded ram may be the answer. If this was the case though, would the problem not be present in all the OS's I have tried in it.
It's very strange to see it work perfectly with 512 then fail to fully boot with 1024.
Anyone else had this sort of experience?

All versions of Windows are very tolerant of memory errors - try the memtest as suggested in one of the posts I linked to.
I had the same problem with suse 8.2 and abit mobo. Try running memtest on each stick seperately and also with them switched around.
Memtest threw up loads of errors on mine but when I sent them back they said they where ok. I upgraded to branded (corsair) and it solved my problem, maybe that's it.

It turns out the system is actualy running, just not displaying anything. Yet it does with one bar, add more than one bar and no display?
In reality the box will only be used remotely via shell so I can live with it as is.
Thanks again.
Mack.
